On Crap Nights

Some nights I can go to bed and just lay there - nothing really playing on my mind, but no matter how tired I feel, I just cannot get to sleep. Other nights I drift off, only to jolt awake, then drift off to jolt awake, ad infinitum.

When Jo isn't around, it's even worse, and when I am hurting, it's becomes even less fun.

Last night, my body was fighting sleep through till the early hours. I was up till gone midnight, and then laying in bed till nearly 3am, awake but exhausted, before finally falling asleep. Only to have no reason what so ever to bolt awake at 4am. I bolted up, awake and completely with it. Still totally knackered, but unable to sleep.

So I got up and watched some cartoons, mature as I am. Then my alarm went off at half six, so I've been doing morning things since then.

I'm cold, tired, aching - but at least it's Friday. Tam is being taken by Jo's mum, Jaysen is going to school, and there's a risk of people coming over this weekend which means I need to work my arse off and clean up this pig sty of a house. On an hour of sleep. Then it's get the boy from school, sort dinner and... well, assuming visitors don't arrive till tomorrow, I might just try to sleep.

I can't stop yawning, my eyes look like piss-holes in the snow, and I am cold all the way through by body, even fully clothed. But the world carries on around me...

About Me!

Welcome!

Welcome to 0ddness!

For the newcomers amongst you, this blog is one of my little corners of the web where I generally spout rubbish, rant and rave about minor things, share music I love (and can't stand) and generally put the world to rights from my little corner of the web. I might talk about something I've watched, my family, my aches and pains, an upcoming movie, the news... and then switch to the weather, the crazy idiot I met in the street and the speed of a cat when running for its life.

You don't have to agree with what I say or think, you just have to be polite in your discussion!

Aside from posting here (I would say on a regular basis, but it's mood/brain dependant of late) I also post photos on-and-off on my Tumblr page. There is literally nothing but photos I've taken via Instagram on there, and I am by no means artistic - I just like some of the pictures I take.

You can also visit my Last.fm page to see what I've been listening to while banging around the house. If you think the Musical Monday section is a very random mix of tracks, you ain't seen nothin' yet!!

And if you have eyes, you will also see that you can find me on Facebook (as well as the blog having its own page) and I randomly appear on Twitter just to moan or whatever.

Lastly, a common question I get is "How do I comment on your posts?" On the top of each post, there is a little speech-bubble icon with a number beside it. Click that number to enter "Comments" and away you go!
